Load In Fee

Vehicle entry fee is $50 per vehicle. Entry will be timed and you will not be allowed entry without this pass. You must purchase a vehicle entry pass for each vehicle you’ll use to load in/out of the park.

I agree to arrive during the designated times. If I do not I understand I’ll be turned away. If I am late I will have to walk my products into/out of the park. If I arrive and I have not purchased a vehicle entry pass I understand that I will be turned away and not allowed to drive into the park. By not purchasing entry passes I acknowledge that I will be walking my products in and out. I also understand that there is no guarantee to the safety of my products left over night in my booth space. Items left in my booth are left there at my own risk

How many vehicles will you use to load in?*

How many trailers will you be pulling into the park?*

Wood

The City also requires that all tires have wood under them at all times.

You’ll need wood squares big enough to drive each of your tires onto.

This is typically 4 pc of ¾” plywood cut to 16x16 squares.

If you do not have wood under your tires it jeopardizes our permit so we’ll have to ask you to leave the park and go get wood and start load in all over again – and that’s a bummer!

I understand that I will need to have my wood out each time I drive into the park. I will have it out and ready to show to the Traffic Monitors each time I enter the park. I understand that if I forget my wood I will not be allowed to enter the park and I’ll have to walk my products in. I understand that Seattle Hempfest does not have extra wood on site.

I’ll have my wood out when I check in as a condition of entry. I understand and agree to this
